The purpose of this handbook is to provide information on the fundamental requirements, as set down in the Federal law and policy, that are necessary in planning Title I, Elementary Secondary Education Act proposals. Also, this handbook is meant to clarify Title I of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act of 1965 and its amendments. It provides a further elaboration of Health Education Welfare Department Program Guides 44 and 45A for Title I. The handbook is organized to reflect in sequence each phase of the planning and development of a Title I proposal; each phase is discussed in terms of legal and guideline requirements. After the first general section on the purpose of Title I, the content material in bold type is that which is quoted directly from the Title I law. The questions, answers, and exercises are designed to clarify that law and discuss how it relates to the policies of the Detroit Public Schools. Section two, "Target areas," discusses topics related to the selection of attendance areas for Title I projects. Section three discusses "Comprehensive assessment of needs", and section four deals with "program design." Section five discusses topics relevant to the implementation of program proposals and section six discusses the specific evaluation procedures included in the Title I program. Section seven discusses topics relevant to "fiscal planning." (Author/JM)
